November 8, 20187 yr I'm looking at the free agent list as it stands at the moment: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/2018-19-mlb-free-agents.html What player or what list of free agents would you want the Marlins to take a shot or look at for next season? [be realistic]
November 8, 20187 yr I'd take a look and chance with Dixon Machado and Jace Peterson. damn boi them some deep cuts
November 8, 20187 yr the drop off after JT and Grandal is basically who gives a shit just throw anyone behind the plate
November 9, 20187 yr Manny Machado and Jon Jay. Machado can be the Marlins Jayson Werth if he really fucked up his market this postseason with his "Antics" and if he's going to be poorly paid compared to what he could have got, he might as well do it income tax free and back at home s Mr. Miami. Jon Jay since he's Mr. 305, and a flyer in the OF wouldn't be terrible. He can probably learn to play 1B in a pinch too.
November 9, 20187 yr I don’t think Machado cost himself that much money. He’s an elite player. For teams willing to spend on an elite infielder there aren’t comparable options on the market this year. If he was slightly above league average then yes I would agree his postseason hurt his future earnings because there would be more similar alternatives for teams to sign. But in his case I don’t see those alternatives on that side of the infield

November 9, 20187 yr I don’t really believe Machado cost himself any money. He’s still 26 (!!!) and has put up 6+ fWAR three of the last 4 years (!!!). That’s insane. Even his down year was 2.6 WAR despite what looked like a horribly-unlucky BABIP. He’s going to get a massive deal, here or otherwise.

Even his down year was 2.6 WAR despite what looked like a horribly-unlucky BABIP. He’s going to get a massive deal, here or otherwise. Right on point. He’s coming off his best season of his career. Entering prime years. One month of a heel turn isn’t going to matter [ATTACH]2352._xfImport[/ATTACH]
November 9, 20187 yr Right on point. He’s coming off his best season of his career. Entering prime years. One month of a heel turn isn’t going to matter [ATTACH]2352[/ATTACH] Look at all those career bests last year, damn. And he’s *26*. Teams will assuredly be falling over themselves for Machado, and that hiccup won’t make a difference. Maybe to one or two teams, but the others will chalk it up to correctable immaturity, first time in the postseason, whatever, since he’s just 26.
November 9, 20187 yr first time in the postseason Hard to believe, I know, but he was in the playoffs before with Baltimore - 2012 and 2016 [one game in the latter].
November 9, 20187 yr Our goal for this FA period should be on signing guys that can be flipped at the deadline for prospects. Sign BP arms and bats like John Jay that will be coveted at the deadline. Turn those $’s into B/C+ level prospects for depth in the future
November 9, 20187 yr Hard to believe, I know, but he was in the playoffs before with Baltimore - 2012 and 2016 [one game in the latter]. Dang, wow! Good call.
November 9, 20187 yr Bring back LoMo!!!!! I'd like this. Would he, though? Left during a rebuild, come back during a rebuild ... lol.
November 9, 20187 yr I'd like this. Would he, though? Left during a rebuild, come back during a rebuild ... lol. With his year last year, he may not have too many options.
November 9, 20187 yr With his year last year, he may not have too many options. I agree with you. Was he injured for a stretch of time or just that bad?
November 9, 20187 yr I agree with you. Was he injured for a stretch of time or just that bad? I think it was both, not sure.
November 10, 20187 yr I'd like this. Would he, though? Left during a rebuild, come back during a rebuild ... lol. he wasn't planning on contending when he signed with the Rays
